Produktinfo
Bad As Me is Tom Waits’ first studio album of all new music in seven years. This pivotal work refines the music that has come before and signals a new direction. Waits, in possibly the finest voice of his career, worked with a veteran team of gifted musicians and longtime co-writer / producer Kathleen Brennan. From the opening horn-fueled chug of “Chicago,” to the closing barroom chorale of “New Year’s Eve,” Bad As Me displays the full career range of Waits’ songwriting, from beautiful ballads like “Last Leaf,” to the avant cinematic soundscape of “Hell Broke Luce,” a battlefront dispatch. On tracks like “Talking at the Same Time,” Waits shows off a supple falsetto, while on blues burners like “Raised Right Men” and the gospel tinged “Satisfied” he spits, stutters and howls. Like a good boxer, these songs are lean and mean, with strong hooks and tight running times. A pervasive sense of players delighting in each other’s musical company brings a feeling of loose joy even to the album’s saddest songs.(tomwaits. com)
Rezensionen
,,Gesanglich gibt Waits wie gewohnt den verliebten Kindermörder und den verlebten Seemann, die animalische Heulsuse und den hoffnungslosen Romantiker, den angesoffenen Schnulzensänger und den melancholischen Thekennachbarn." (musikexpress, November 2011)
,,Nirgendwo auf dieser Platte herrscht die Dekonstruktion, das Zerstörungswerk der Schlaginstrumente, wie es bei Waits zuletzt beinahe obligatorisch geworden war. Schrottplatz war gestern, Rekonstruktion ist heute: mehr Schönheit als Schrecken." (Rolling Stone, November 2011)
,,Er torkelt und wankt wie einst, steht aber immer noch aufrecht: Mit ,,Bad As Me" meldet sich Tom Waits eindrucksvoll zurück." (Audio, Dezember 2011)
,,Oft wüst, nicht immer böse, immer genial: ein Ritt durch Waits' Karriere." (Stereoplay, Dezember 2011)
